by Amara Graps One of my current favorite books at home is Cal Peternell’s Twelve Recipes. He is a professional chef who wrote the cookbook to codify a core set (dozen) of recipes for his sons to carry with them into their future lives. Each recipe has a basic form, then Peternell adds variants that […] The post Recipe for a Quantum Hype Omelet appeared first on Quantum Computing Report.

by Amara Graps Benchmarks for quantum computers are blooming. From the (not serious) Weird Al benchmark, to the (very serious) Quantum Benchmarking Initiative by DARPA,  the quantum community has advanced quite a distance in the last decade. I have almost forty quantum computing benchmarking papers saved in my personal subdirectory now.  Let’s put a frame […] The post Diagnostic Benchmarks […]

A recent study published in Science introduces a novel metric called the V-score, aimed at evaluating the effectiveness of various computational methods in solving ground state problems—critical challenges in quantum computing research. The paper, authored by a collaborative team from 29 institutions, including IBM, focuses on quantifying quantum advantage in estimating ground state energy, […]

Quantum Computing Inc. (QCi) has secured its fifth contract with NASA to develop quantum remote sensing technology aimed at significantly reducing the cost of spaceborne LiDAR missions. The new project seeks to make LiDAR imaging for atmospheric measurements more affordable, allowing NASA to increase the frequency of flights to better study climate change mechanisms. The […] The post Quantum […]

by Amara Graps Training hybrid quantum neural networks (HQNN) and quantum neural networks (QNNs) can be costly. As in up to $100K per qubit. If this is the price, would you want to train your QNN? I provide a 2023 research finding in this article, that may make managers take notice. Yes, there are caveats.  […] The post Quantum for AI: Costs from a Diagnostic Benchmark appeared first on […]

Researchers from ParityQC and the University of Innsbruck have unveiled the most efficient implementation of the Quantum Fourier Transform (QFT) on a linear chain of qubits, eliminating the need for SWAP or Shuttling operations. Their breakthrough, detailed in the paper “SWAP-less Implementation of Quantum Algorithms,” introduces a novel approach that leverages parity quantum information flow […]

IQM Quantum Computers has been selected by the EuroHPC Joint Undertaking (EuroHPC JU) to provide two Radiance quantum computers for the Euro-Q-Exa hybrid system at the Leibniz Supercomputing Centre (LRZ) in Garching, Germany and will be integrated into LRZ’s supercomputing systems, including SuperMUC-NG. The systems, featuring 54 qubits and 150 qubits, will be delivered in the […] The post […]

Nu Quantum has announced a proof-of-concept Qubit-Photon Interface (QPI), which enables modular and distributed quantum computers by connecting different quantum processing units (QPUs) across quantum networks. The technology facilitates the transfer of quantum information between matter and light, overcoming a key barrier to scaling quantum computing. The first iteration of the QPI has been […]

by Amara Graps It was a remarkable speech, those six-and-a-half-minutes of the former North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) Secretary General, Jens Stoltenberg, speaking at the inauguration of the Deep Tech Lab – Quantum on 29 September 2023.  A minute after describing the most effective defense technologies historically being led by governments, Mr. Stoltenberg described his […] The post […]

QuEra Computing has received a strategic investment from Google Quantum AI to expedite the development of scalable, fault-tolerant quantum computers using neutral atom technology. This funding marks a significant endorsement of QuEra’s progress and leverages collaborations with Harvard and MIT, based on research from the labs of Mikhail Lukin, Vladan Vuletic, and Markus Greiner. There […] The […]
